Question

one trait a plant can havr is either red leaves (R) or brown leaves(r). another trait is tall stems (T) or short stems (t). a plant used in a dihybrid cross has the genotype RrTt.what os the phenotype of this type

Answer 1

The phenotype of a living thing is its appearance, meaning how it looks in physical traits. The dominant allele, (the capital letter) means that even when paired with a recessive allele, (the lowercase letter) the phenotype will represent the dominant trait. This means that the plant with the genotype RrTt has a phenotype of red leaves, and tall stems. Bonus: An allele that consists of a dominant gene, and a recessive gene of the same trait, is called a heterozygous allele.
